    From the internet - a good nutritionist...... Sugar AINT SO SWEET-HERES WHY If there's one topic in all of the G-Files I've ever done that just isn't getting through to people in the way I would like, it has to do with sugar. Mama mia, is this stuff ever junk for you. Most people don't even know why it's bad for them. So I have to start off by saying...

    Tuesday, March 30 By Gunn Sikk Do you drink distilled water in hopes of improving your health? For those of you not familiar with distillation, it’s a process by which water is boiled, evaporated, and then the vapour is condensed to form a water that is free of any dissolved minerals. As a result it is believed to have the special property of being a...

    It is very beneficial to eat turmeric; however, as to anti-inflammatory and pain-killing and blood thinning qualitiesw, I don't think you could get enough and still have palatable food. The co-ops/health food stores sell supplements of turmernic. My Ayurvedic doc says most spices thin the blood; but that food thickens the blood - that is how they balance...

    Hi guys. Anyone try MyChelle dermaceuticals? I've just gotten some and they seem so great. I am wondering if anyone else has experience...

    Take it easy the first time...I'm in misery today in my wrists, forearms, inner thighs, and right buttock. Ouch. I know the only way to calm these muscle aches down is to go play again, only more gently this time. anyway, good luck!

    In case anyone is wanting to work out their inner thighs, might I suggest tennis. Holy Moly! I played two days ago and am at my sorest right now - inner thighs, low back a bit, shoulder a bit, wrist a lot, forearm a lot...but the inner thighs...now that's exciting. I wish I'd have known years ago. Back to the tennis court go I....

    I think Rainbow Light has a rice based protein powder. Don't know if it fits all the other requirements, but it may well since I have the same no no's. I'm adding onto this I wonder if there are protein/weight gain options for folks who don't do the things you said, AND don't do grains.....

    This never happened to me before...today! It was either the Bumble Bar (which I believe to be the case), or some lip stuff I put on at the co-op. The reason I guess Bumble Bar is it didn't happen until I ate it. I used to eat them all the time, but I don't eat sugar anymore, and that has lots of honey and other stuff....and peanuts, which I also don't...

    I am thinking about the buffalo too. Right now I'm buying grass-fed beef from a local farm - and it's pretty easy here to get organical and nicely treated buffalo meat - both are so bloody expensive. But I think it's worth it due to nutrition - and not forcing an animal to eat things they can't digest (cows and corn). Maybe I'll try the buffalo, though...

    I find that having a system helps me...I mean a system of eating. This means finding one that works for you and then modifying it slightly (if need be). I use Paleolithic diet. What I mean by there being a system is that you can really wrap your head around what you eat and why - in this case, only stuff that paleolithic chicks would eat - well, modified...

    Hi. I don't know what to say about the stomach problems...my stomach problems usually are more like feeling green, or feeling like my stomach is full of air...I don't relate right away to your description. The weight loss thing, on the other hand, is something I'm struggling with. Okay, it's fun to a point, but when is it going to stop? I'm 5 foot ...

    The oxalates in spinach do bind the iron, from what I understand (also not a scientist - but I am obsessed with food). Cooking the spinach decreases the oxalates - but you don't want to overcook it. I sautee some shallot or leek in olive oil add spinach (washed/cut, etc.) stir around with tongs for literally about 1.5 minutes or until just wilted squeeze...

    ARCHIVED Tennis Anyone?

    BRUMI1968 posted a topic in Sports and Fitness

    I'm starting tennis and need to know stretches and stuff to help my ankles, hamstrings, and shoulders. Any tennis players out there?

    Okay, I really want a new bed. We bought a very good bed (steel spring pillow top bla bla bla) from the Bon (Macy's now I guess)...and it cost over 2 grand...so I thought, good bed. Actually, I wanted a Duxiana, which has springs made of soft metal, but hubby kaboshed it due to price. Well, he hates our bed now too. Anyone out there sleep on these beds...

    I mostly do a diet called "The Body Ecology Diet". It splits foods into acid/alkaline and acid/expansive. Really, western medicine is the only medicine/eating system that doesn't bother with such things...all eastern philosophies do this - Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, etc. The body ecology diet says 80/20 as well - 80 alkaline/20 acid ... in other words...

    I'm actually on the Paleolithic Diet and it is doing me a world of good. You can google it if you want to find out more. It's a bit challenging at first (especially for me as I was vegetarian...WAS vegetarian)...but I swear I finally feel like I'm full of life, instead of just a body dragging itself around this crazy world. Good luck.

    What I noticed right away was that my stool was no longer accompanied by undigested food bits. Yuck, I know, but that's what I noticed right away. I buy the Digest Gold at the food co-op, but I think "super Supplements" carries them as well. Enzymedica also has a website. Good luck.

    My case is similar to yours, except I've always been on the C side of things. I quit dairy and wheat two years ago, and felt great. But then I started to wonder - if quitting wheat made such a difference, I should make sure I'm not Celiac and doing damage to myself with spelt and the like. Sure enough, I tested positive. So I quit the oatmeal and the...

    Even though the foods you are listing might help someone gain weight, they have virtually no nutritional value. Being too skinny is not great - but getting off your skinniness with worthless food probably ins't going to make you feel any better. If you eat eggs, they can be pretty inexpensive. If you eat meat, you can make hamburgers w/o the bun - they...

    1. the cups...I scrub our dishes before they go in the dishwasher; but who knows at work... 2. you lucky dog to live in New Zealand - I don't know what they do to your tapwater. I would watch out for fluoride, that's a bad one. Lots of bottled water tests to have germs in it; and some of it is even just tapwater bottled up (thanks both Coke and Pepsi...

    Found on the internet: What does the test result mean? NOTE: A standard reference range is not available for this test. Because reference values are dependent on many factors, including patient age, gender, sample population, and test method, numeric test results have different meanings in different labs. Your lab report should include the specific reference...

    I use liquid stevia from planetary something or else. I think it's interesting - it imparts sweet but without you being able to tell what kind of sweet - not like honey or maple or even cane sugar. However, if you use too much, you can taste it and it tastes a bit odd. I've used it in tea, in almond butter for a dessert, and even in vineagrette (not...

    ARCHIVED Seattle?

    BRUMI1968 replied to a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Hi. I'm in Bellingham - about 90 miles north of Seattle - and on your way to the San Juans if only you were driving there...okay, that makes no sense...but anyway, we're a great port to set out to the San Juans from. I don't know what island(s) you are going to, but they all seem to be rife with bed & breakfasts. Also, Lopez and San Juan are really...

    when I quit WHEAT two years ago, I ate a lot of spelt: spelt tortillas and spelt bread mostly, since I find bagels to be really sour tasting. Anyway, I was doing just fine on it for those two years. I decided to get tested for Celiac a couple months ago only because I'd done so well getting quitting wheat. So no more spelt for me.
  25. BRUMI1968
    Ah...that makes sense. I'm so glad I feel better. I'm actually craving exercise, my eyes feel bright and wide open, I don't want naps...I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm still working out some of the bugs with what i can and can't eat; and I still sometimes get grossed out by something in my turkey rollup...15 years of vegetarianism can...
